Believe in God when he gives you the opportunity to do his will. Going the other way will simply make your life miserable, both here and in eternity. Your previous ways are irrelevant to the Lord when you make the decision to follow him.
Jesus could see what was coming. That he was going to be rejected by the Chosen People, the ones he had shepherded faithfully through the ages of the Old Testament.
He foresaw the destruction of the temple and the was mourning the loss of their love, and warned them of what was coming. We must also not believe that we can just go through life ignoring him or his work.
Rather we must prepare ourselves to be with in heaven him in eternity or we will destroy ourselves.
All the world’s riches will not come with us when we die. Rather our actions and deeds will determine if we worked for God while we are here.
If your life is only possessions, you have nothing. If you have used your gifts and treasures effectively you will have the kingdom of heaven.
Our relationship with and through God is the only one that matters here, and later in eternity.
